Translation - STR files

[LusoJedi]

Many years ago, I started a translation of the game to portuguese but I never got to finish it at the time. Since then, I lost the files and never tried to start over. Now I've decided to do it again, but where at the time the text files were easily found, now I'm unable to find them. I'm looking at 'assets2.pk3', and inside the language folders I only find 'credits.str', 't3_bounty.str' and 'objectives.str' (the latter is missing in the 'english' folder).

Does anyone know where the rest of the files are located?

Thanks in advance.

The other files are located in 'assets0.pk3'.

You mean the IBI files? Shouldn't there be STR files?

The path should be assets0.pk3 -> strings -> English. .IBI files are in assets0.pk3 -> scripts, not strings.

D'oh! My bad.

Thanks for the help.

One last question though. I have the option to overwrite one of the existing language options, but what do I need to do to make it its own language option, along the ones available?

I recommend you copy one of the spanish/french languages so you have an english refresh and your translation underneath

for example

// Note to translators:
// If a sentence is the same in your language then please change it to "#same"
//
// eg:
// LANG_ENGLISH  "HALT"
// LANG_GERMAN   "#same"
//
// (This is so we can tell which strings have been signed-off as ok to be the same words for QA
//  and because we do not store duplicate strings, which will then get exported again next time
//  as being untranslated.)
//
VERSION             "1"
CONFIG              "W:\bin\stringed.cfg"
FILENOTES           "XMAKE-auto-generated from "w:\documents\script\jedi academy script2.txt""

REFERENCE           01LUK011
LANG_ENGLISH        "I'd like to welcome all our new students to the Jedi Academy."
LANG_SPANISH        "Bienvenidos, nuevos alumnos de la academia jedi."

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, I'm using an existing language file as a basis. However, whenever I finish, how do I add the option to select the new language on the menu options? I don't want to override an existing language, but make it available as a separate option.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. It's in MENUS.str.
